Also Barnes&Noble dont seem to have a copy of any of the new RR books at the moment.......

ah crap...i think ur right cools. it might have been delayed til 07. i am cancelling my damn order from amazon.
I called Elsevier yesterday and they said they had it in stock and it was shipping out.
Why did you guys order from Amazon? First the book has to be shipped from Elsevier to Amazon, and then Amazon has to ship to you.
I ordered straight from Elsevier (the publisher). My copy shipped today.
I think it's backordered from them now, though.

on amazon it's saying it will be shipped on Nov 20th
Yeah, when I heard 2007 my stomach dropped! I sold my old edition last week that I was using.
I called Amazon and they told me they plan on shipping them out on the 19 or 20. They haven't heard of a delay until 2007. Cross those fingers.
let's see PS3 launched today and Nintendo Wii launches Sunday.
Now Goljan launched earlier this week and if they run out out of copies be prepared to find books selling at 3x the price on ebay and people selling email address for $100-$500 that are like [email protected] or [email protected]

i looked it up on amazon the other day..says usually ships within 4-6 weeks!!!
Hey Mikey, if I am not mistaken I think this 4 to 6 wks is for the older edition....I suggest that you check once again.

you're right..thx..when do you think i should get this text... After 1st year..or go over-achiever style and get it this xmas🙂
i ordered it on amazon last week - just checked order status and said delivery has been delayed to 11/24-27... i should have received it by now according to the original delivery date. was hoping to read it over thanksgiving break...
I just received notice from Amazon that my Goljan order has been delayed and will ship Jan 23!! Luckily Elsevier still has the book in stock and ready to ship.
I have also cancelled my order with Amazon 👎 👎 👎 and placed the order with Elsevier. Will get more information on my order satus tomorrow.........
Just wanted to share that I received my copy this morning . I ordered it from Elsevier directly about a month ago, just to give you an idea.
Picked mine up today from the school's bookstore. I didn't need to worry about when it would be mailed and the shipping cost, and they gave me 10% off. Now I have a good excuse to ignore the inlaws over the long Thanksgiving break. I guess its a lose-lose situation...
just called elsevier and they said that the shipments didnt go out until last thursday/friday. So if you ordered from amazon, ect. then it will prob. be shipped out this week and you will get it sometime next week.
They said they had plenty in stock so I dont know why some say they arnt getting it until january.

I ordered mine a couple months ago and the estimated ship date is today. 👍 We'll see if it happens.
Maybe it's already been mentioned, but new RR Biochem just came out as well (co-authored by Goljan).

Because that is what Amazon said in an email.
Just got the package.
First off, the book is BIG. 739 glossy pages including the index. It looks like it's almost twice as thick as the new edition of BRS Path.
Secondly, there are lots of FULL COLOR pictures all over this book. Not sure how Goljan did this while keeping the price of the book even lower than the first edition of RR.
Gone is the horrible font used in RR edition 1. The new edition uses a clean font that is not cluttered at all. There are also high-yield tidbits in the margins along with lots of space to make your own notes.
There are a lot more charts, figures, info in this book than in the previous edition. The amount of info in the book is comparable to the Goljan 500 page notes.
I suggest buying a pillow for this book because you'll want to sleep with it from now until boards.

As allendo said, I cant wait! My mouth is watering but also the fact that we have to buy a pillow, loads of info added.....seems we have a long journey ahead!
So what other Rapid Review books do you suggest other than the Pathology one?
Update: Amazon just bumped my order to mid-January 🙁
If you want this bad boy, try Elsevier.
how are the margins? enough room for notes?
thanks!
thanks!
Plenty of room around the high-yield points. Approx 2 inches wide on outer edge of each page.
just ordered the patho and biochem will be getting it by friday. by the way, what do you guys think is the best review material for biochem?
That sucks. I was waiting to get it off of Buy.com so I could use the $10 off $30 Google checkout on it, but if I have to wait until mid January like amazon then Ill just get it at elsevier.

I'm not sure there is a single book that his pics come from, but Robbins new pathology atlus is nice and I highly reccomend it.
Hmm, I wonder if I should buy the new RR just for the hell of it, I've got the old one and our class notes, domer621 is there a section of micro in the book?
Thanks so much.
can someone help me get a hold of the goljan audio cds?
Damn. I already have the old RR path. It has been good to me, but I was thinking about getting BRS path for the boards (it gets better reviews in first aid). What do you guys think?
The pics in the book are from lots of different sources. There are a lot from Robbins, but there are also a lot of pictures that are better than the ones in Robbins for particular diseases, e.g. the Robbins pic of Giardia lamblia doesn't even show the double nuclei, while the pic Goljan has shows it clearly. It's nice because he has a caption underneath each picture, and sometimes has arrows in the pictures so you really know what you're looking at. The color is awesome!
There is no micro section per se, but he integrates a lot of micro within the text. For example, in the GI section, he lists all of the bugs that cause GI disturbances in chart form.
Honestly, you can't even compare the old RR with the 2nd edition. I bought the new BRS path when it came out, and you can't even compare that with the new RR.
See if your school bookstore has it in. You'll see what I'm talking about!
Alright dude. Thanks for the tip.
